How To Make Onion Dosa At Home

Spread dosa batter on a hot tawa, top with an onion-chili mixture, and cook until crispy. Serve with chutney or sambar for a delicious meal.

2

Prepare the Dosa Batter

Prepare the Dosa Batter: If you're using store-bought batter, ensure it's at room temperature. If homemade, blend soaked rice and urad dal into a smooth batter, ferment it overnight, and stir it before use.

3

Prepare the Onion Topping

Prepare the Onion Topping: mix finely chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves in a bowl. You can add a pinch of salt if desired.

4

Heat the Pan

Heat the Pan: heat a non-stick or cast-iron tawa on medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin layer.

5

Add Onion Mixture

Add Onion Mixture: immediately sprinkle the onion, green chili, and coriander mixture evenly over the dosa while the batter is still wet. Gently press it down with a spatula so it sticks to the dosa.

Cook and Serve

Cook and Serve: Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa and let it cook until the edges become crispy and the bottom turns golden brown. Fold the dosa and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
